Fire Up the Barbecues and Grab a Beer: It's Sizzling Spins!

Sizzling Spins is a new slot from Play’n GO, and the whole thing is set on a fired-up summer barbecue. The game’s premise is pretty simple: 243 ways to win, basic design, high variance, large potential payouts. If you’re the kind of player that will gorge on any game that promises a big payout, then you’re bound to enjoy this one.

Play’n GO tends to make impressive slots; will SIzzling Spins be up there with their best?

Theme

Chuck another shrimp on the barbie, yeah?! This game will have you remembering the scorching days of summer when they’re long gone, and will bring that meat-induced saliva to the roof of your mouth.

Gameplay Overview & Symbols

One of our favourite things about SIzzling Spins is the speed of play. You can whizz through spins at a rate of knots (including with Autospin) and the developers didn’t waste any time on over-the-top animations on winning combinations.

Set on a toasty barbecue, the game’s symbols are an assortment of sausages, veg, ribs, steak, and shrimp! Even better are the foil packets which also sit above the coals: these act as the game’s wild, and trigger free sticky-wild-respins if they land on reel 1, 3, or 5.

If, during the respin, another foil packet lands on one of the 5 reels, you get another respin with both wilds kept in play. The bonus only stops when you fail to land a new wild.

Special Features

In addition to the impressive wild respins we’ve seen in the base game, Sizzling Spins also offers players a smoky free spins round. While some games offer smaller spin allowances for 3 scatters and bigger ones if you get 4-5, this game does things a bit differently. There are only 3 scatters (those big spicy chillies) and when you activate the round, there’s a mini “choose a chili” game.

Behind one there is 8 spins, another 10 spins, and the third has 12 spins.

As for the spins themselves, there are a few extras in store. For a start, the reel set is now 4 reels high instead of 3, offering a cracking 1,024 ways to win! The Hot Reels (aka wild respins) are still switched on, and landing extra chillies boosts the win multiplier up as high as 5x. With the maximum multiplier in-play, you can win up to 5,000x your stake!

Our Verdict

Sometimes it’s the basic games which surprise you. Sizzling Spins is a slightly tacky-looking slot, set on a barbecue, with a free spins round decided by a bunch of chillies.

And it’s amazing fun. The game clearly isn’t taking itself too seriously, and the developers probably had a whale of a time bringing this one to life! It’s high variance and can pay out big, so why not give it a shot?
